It is always challenging to “price” the “hand-stitched” Sashiko item. As much as I would like to respect the artisans, the pricing is very important to make it sustainable.

Help me out to figure out how to price it.

It would be helpful if you included the size of the item.
@meowichita The fabric itself is about Size:6″ x 5.5″. The stitched part is about the half. I believe you can jump to the link (nothing fishy) and see the detail there. Thank you! (Sorry for the different account).
